Sitting in front of the campfire in the camp, Romon glanced at Freya who had just returned from digging the canal. This squirrel-like "giant bear" is the most eye-catching presence no matter where it squats. Two village women took huge wooden brushes and brushed Freya's body vigorously while she was chewing her pre-meal snack, brushing the dirt and stones out of her fur. After dinner, the village women would boil four large pots of hot water for Freya to take a bath. Through her efforts during this period, Freya surpassed Leo in one fell swoop and was successfully promoted to the working emperor of River Bay, enjoying the highest level of treatment. The villagers were almost like the barbarians, bowing down to her and worshipping her. With Freya's five-times-speed excavation progress, the first phase of the Ulyaan Project had already been completed, and the canal successfully connected the upper reaches of the Anzeno River and the small lake in the middle of the river bay peninsula. Throughout the northern part of the Bay Peninsula, nearly five hundred acres of land are irrigated and drained. The villagers have worked tirelessly to reclaim wasteland, and more than one hundred acres of land have been reclaimed, ready for planting in the spring. If Leo had not seen it with his own eyes, he would not have believed that the real force behind the reclamation of such a large area of land was actually a group of elderly, weak, women and children in the village.
But Uliyan would certainly not give up. Adhering to the principle of making the best use of resources, he found different ways every day to lure Freya to continue digging the canal. In just a few days, the southern section of the canal is almost finished. Moreover, it was much straighter than Uliyan's plan, and it was almost plowing straight through the rocky ground. If you look down from a high altitude, the canal looks like a straight knife mark, cutting a deep hole in the river bay peninsula. The entire Hewan Peninsula seemed to have been cut from the land on the south bank with a knife, turning into an island. Compared to provoking wild boar people and participating in wars, Freya undoubtedly prefers this kind of work that suits the nature of groundhogs. When I feel lazy or stupid, I can’t control myself! Although Urian explained that this was an elven druid in the form of a giant bear, Romon still didn't dare to turn his back to her, fearing that the giant beast would eat him, a stranger, in one bite. While keeping an eye on the marmot, Romon said, "My father promised to provide continuous assistance to the River Bay Territory in the next three years, mainly in the form of food, cloth, some weapons, and a certain amount of military support. This is the document signed by my father, and I will be responsible for the specific operation." "When I came here, I had already brought my father's handwritten letter to Knight Noyes in the western watchtower." "Knight Noyes is the garrison commander of the Western Watchtower. He has fifteen cavalrymen and fifty regular infantrymen. When necessary, the captain can ask for help from Knight Noyes first. He will also keep an eye on the Riverbend Territory." Listening to Romon listing the supported projects one by one, Uliyang was delighted and kept rubbing his hands. Big families are different, they either don’t do it, or end up with a big loss. With the support of the Petukhov family, the River Bay Territory can basically survive any minor disaster unless it is a sudden catastrophic disaster. "When your father was the garrison commander at the Western Watchtower, I was the captain of the infantry under him." Uliyan rubbed his hands, trying to make friends while digging for information: "Where did this Knight Noyes come from?" "Noyes Hobert, he is a descendant of the Hobert family, an old square-flag family in Isenbol. Well, he is also the husband of my distant cousin, my cousin-in-law." "Our own people! Our own people!" Uliyang was relieved. Because of the arrival of Knight Roman, the dinner became unusually sumptuous. There are not only crispy wheat cakes and fragrant thick soup.
The members of the militia also received an extra large piece of bone-in meat from a unicorn pig as a reward for their heroic fighting. Moreover, Uliyan also promised that because the battle to eliminate the wild boar people was a great victory and the militia fought bravely, regardless of whether they killed the wild boar people or not, all members of the militia would receive an acre of land as a reward. Once the River Bend Territory is successfully developed, Uliyan will be promoted to a pioneer knight, and the best of these militiamen will become the first batch of professional soldiers in the territory. Leo was standing aside, holding a roasted pork leg, eating while watching the fun. If he used only the half of the original owner Leo's soul, he would see Ulian's gratitude in response to the sudden assistance, Knight Roman's maturity and stability, and a scene of great joy. But from the perspective of the other half of the time traveler's soul, what he saw was a cunning and rough man who played a young man in the palm of his hand. Every line of dialogue, every micro-expression, is full of acting skills. Throughout the whole night, under Ulian's patient persuasion, Knight Roman confessed everything, but he did not find a chance to state the conditions proposed by his father. The little mouse squatted beside Leo like a puppy, staring at the roasted pork leg in his hand. Whenever Leo put down the pork leg to chew and digest it, she would pounce on it and take a big bite, tearing off a piece of meat. The other children followed suit and stayed beside their brothers or fathers, taking the opportunity to have a bite of the barbecue. The children without a father and an older brother could only gather around Olivia and compete for favor with the kobold cubs. Freya held the wheat cake in her hand, then looked at the roasted pork leg in Leo's hand. Her eyes moved back and forth, and suddenly she felt that the wheat cake was not fragrant anymore. She asked angrily, "Why can you eat barbecue, but I can only eat wheat cakes!" Leo answered slowly: "Giant bears don't eat barbecue." "Giant bear eats barbecue!" "Can giant bears make fire? Can they barbecue?" Leo looked around. The villagers looked at Freya's huge belly, hid the food behind them, and shook their heads. Are you kidding? One bite of yours is worth a whole meal for others. Leo said earnestly: "Your master is right. To practice Transfiguration, you need to learn the various habits of the transformed creatures, including the recipes!" As he said this, he waved his hand and shouted, "Why are you all standing there? You are disturbing Master Druid's meal!" As soon as the words fell, everyone dispersed, leaving the groundhog holding the wheat cake and questioning his life. In addition to the assistance, Romon also brought the latest news about the orc invasion. In less than two months, the orc invasion had spread to a depth of 300 miles along the entire southern bank of the Arctic Glacier. Hundreds of human villages were looted and a large number of refugees moved south. The Frelov family, who controlled the World Tree Avenue, gathered their forces in the town of Varanger, 200 miles south of the Wind God Fortress, temporarily blocking the invasion of the main force of the Orcs on the western front. But there are still a large number of small orc clans who took the opportunity to cross the human defense line and hide in the wilderness. In the wilderness north of the Anzeno River, a large number of alien tribes and herds of beasts were disturbed and began to migrate further south. Many villages along the way had been attacked. Because Count Frelov's troops were concentrated in the north, there were only a small number of garrisons left in the south, which were unable to take care of all the villages. Many remote villages, sawmills, and mines had to move towards towns. Refugees have begun to appear in Isenbol.
